A Nation Beheaded

Neil McLocklin

Two years have passed since Lady Bankes lost her home, husband and lover at Corffe Castell. Now she is faced with new challenges including her melancholic son, the loss of a daughter and the need to find husbands for two others. But the nation is still divided as the Second English Civil War breaks out and there is financial and economic hardship across the country. The more radical amongst the parliamentarians see the trial of the king as the answer to draw a line under the conflict and build a new nation. Colonel Tom Harvey is asked to bring King Charles to justice from his imprisonment on the Isle of Wight, and he enlists Lady Bankes and her son to help him on his quest. In getting to know the king will their views change and what challenges will they face along the way, both emotional and from the threats of those who want the king dead and those who want him saved.
